LIVE UPDATES: Election Day 2012

RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) – It is Election Day 2012 in Virginia and across the country. We will update this story with video, pictures, tweets and story links as election information comes in throughout the day, the night and overnight.

CBS News projects Elizabeth Warren will pick up Scott Brown’s Senate seat in Massachusetts. That means the Democrats have picked up one more seat. (This race is second in spending only to Virginia’s Allen-Kaine race.)

Don Palmer, Secretary of Virginia State Board of Elections, says there are several reasons for late voting including high voter turnout and the amendments that caused some voters to take a longer time to cast their ballot.

CBS News’ Scott Pelley just talked with Gov. Bob McDonnell. He said right now it is too early to call, but thinks Romney will win. McDonnell said Virginia is a state where people vote for the candidate and not necessarily along party lines.

JUST IN FROM STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS: Many voters remain in lines in certain areas of the Commonwealth and will be able to cast votes if in line before the close of polls at 7:00pm. In consultation with officials from both the Republican and Democratic Party, the Virginia State Board of Elections has agreed to pause reporting until 8:00pm to ensure voters are not unduly influenced by preliminary results. Results will commence shortly thereafter
